Saved iMovie projects not showing up in iDVD's Media compartment

Hello Everyone,
I recently created 2 projects in iMovie. After saving them at full quality they are showing up in my Movies folder, however, when I begin an iDVD project neither is showing up in iDVD's Media compartment (under "Custom"). I'm baffled. Can anyone out there shed some light on this? Perhaps I am saving them incorrectly?

Figured it out...Went under "File > Import > Movies" in iDVD. The movies showed up when I did that. Still don't understand why they don't show up under "Media." Everything worked beautifully after that.

Imovie projects not showing up in idvd

I have been trying to share my imovies to idvd to get some discs burned all night! I am clicking on a edited project in imovie. Then Share then share to media browser, then large, then publish. When I open up the movies tab in idvd it isn't there. The only movies showing up are the unedited events from imovies. I have tried everything. I did convert all of these movies from vhs using elgato video capture. That worked fine. I have enough space etc. Any ideas? I am right in understanding that the movies shared to the media browser should show up under the movie tab in idvd, aren't I?

HELP!!!!

Thanks Bengt! Yes, external drive with mac os extended.
I contacted Apple and figured things out. Short story is this: Don't put iMovie HD projects in a folder labeled: iMovie Projects. Once I moved the iMovie HD files to another location, the media browser worked correctly.

Titles from iMovie 08 NOT showing up in iDVD?

I know the product is just out, and many are still playing\learning, but this is driving me crazy! Playing around last night in iMovie 08. Made a short movie, testing a new cam, and added a title, credit and some fades. They appear, play, look great etc. in iMovie, HOWEVER, when I "share" it and import to iDVD, none of the titles, transitions etc. appear.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong, and is this the right place to post? (Wasn't sure if I should post in the iMovie forum, as that parts working fine)!
Thanks!

Ok, not sure why this happened, but now it's working. I "republished" the project again, I know I did it the first time as well, and suddenly all transitions and titles are available in the exported version.
Strange....a bug maybe?

How do you share an iMovie project to DVD now that iDVD not available

How do you share an iMovie project to DVD now that IDVD not available on iMAC? Thanks.

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and Blu-Ray but without the nice themes.

Saved passwords will not show passwords in firefox 3.6

When I go to Tools>Option>Security>Saved Passwords - Saved Passwords do not show up.

Firefox has some printing bugs that appear when the page designer uses certain style rules. There's no immediate prospect that Firefox will be fixed, but of course mail.live.com could be changed at any time. Until then, you can use the Stylish extension to override the styles on mail.live.com, and many other sites that could use a tweak.
If you're inclined to try this:
(1) Install Stylish
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108/
(2) Add a new user style
Tools > Add-ons > User Style tab > Write New Style button
Give it any name you like (e.g., Fix Hotmail Printing) and then copy and paste the following style rule text into the large edit area:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("mail.live.com") {
.PrintContent .ReadMsgBody .ExternalClass {display:block !important}
Compare with my screen shot for reference.
Explanation: this overrides the style from display:inline-block back to display:block.
Works for me. Any luck?

A number of imported photos from iphoto in imovie project all show the same image whilst the preview before dragging them in is correct. What could be the problem?

A number of photos from iphoto used in imovie project all show the same image when playing back. The previw when clicking and dragging them and also the pictures in the storyline. Yet when playing the clip a previous immage keeps on appearing. What could be the problem?

You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have

Everytime I try to burn an iMovie project to a DVD with iDVD, the disc is ejected during the Burning and Multiplexing phase before it's completed.

For months I have been unable to burn any iMovie project to a DVD using iDVD. During the Burning and Multiplexing phase the disc is ejected before it's complete. I went the Genius Bar and after many tests I was told that my disc drive was pretty much dead. The person that helped recommended that I buy an external DVD burner from amazon. I bought the new drive and I can now burn files, but I'm still encountering the same issue burning a movie. Does anyone have any idea what'g going on? I'm extremely frustrated at this point!

Read this treatise on Multiplexing by Bengt Wärleby: HT1645 I was burning a DVD and the...: Apple Support Communities.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Photos in imovie 11 not showing on idvd project.

I made a project in imovie11. Half is video with around 100 iphotos inserted into the movie. That is, a few iphotos in between various clips. Shows on preview imovie preview okay. But when I exported as HD1080 widescreen to idvd, the movie okay but photos not showing. Music tracks all there and the timing is all okay, but just a black screen showing instead of a photo? Any suggestions.
One other point may be relevant, I think the imovie is in NTSC format, but need to export as PAL. Is it possible to do this in imovie or just idvd?
Thanks in anticipation.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

IMovies Do Not Show Up in Magic iDVD

In the Magic iDVD project creation "dialog box" I clicked on Movies and did not see the 4 iMovie icons that are in my Movies library. I DO see all the iPhoto photos when I click Photos tab and DO see tunes when I click the Audio tab.
When I tried to drag an iMovie icon from the Finder view into the Drag Movies Here area, it would not work. Thus I just opened up iMovie and transfered 17 clips one at a time into the Drag Movies Here area and proceeded to burn a DVD. All was OK from that point on.
Any ideas on why Movie icons would not show up?

I don't use Xmarks, so I don't know whether that is a factor here...
If you use Ctrl+d on a bookmarked page, does the Edit Bookmark dialog appear?
Firefox doesn't have a convenient way to determine the location of a bookmark. One workaround is to use the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/ Show Parent Folder] to add a column in the Library dialog showing the location of a bookmark. Then when you use the search function or Recently Bookmarked query, you should be able to discover the location.
The extension shows just the folder name by default. If that isn't unique enough, you can change a setting for the extension so it shows the full path down to that folder. To set this, open the Add-ons page, Extensions category, and use the Options button for Show Parent Folder.

Saving imovie projects in itunes

I've created an imovie project from the app on my ipad2 and saved it in itunes but now my macbookpro won't open it in imovie from the itunes account. How can I use the project saved in itunes on other devices? Is there a way to burn a dvd of the project from the macbook pro?

iMovie projects are actually "packages". These packages appear as if they are one single document, but in fact they're more like a folder. If you right-click or control-click on an iMovie project, you'll see an option to "show package contents". Then, inside the project you'll see all the individual files. Would you want to browse through the individual files in that folder with Front Row? Probably not. All of the organization and editing you've done in iMovie is not reflected in the individual files there. While this organization method works for iMovie, it doesn't really help Front Row. To play music, Front Row opens iTunes in the background. To play movies/videos, Front Row plays the files through QuickTime. It might be nice to have an option to view iMovie projects by having iMovie open in the background. You might send Apple some Mac OS X feedback about that option:

My images are not showing up on iDvd

Recently tried cleaning out my start up disk. Opened iDVD and now I can't find my images to drag and create a slideshow. Can anyone help?? Please

Hi
Moving the iPhoto library out from Start-Up hard disk will give problems - as iDVD and iMovie can not find it. AND can not be re-directed to them else they are moved back.
Non of them copies the pictures in use but only points to where they are to be found. If moved - Confusion.
Event's and Project's folders same - but they can be moved from within iMovie (not on desktop)

Error iMovie could not be sent to iDVD during share process

I've just finished editing a 5 minute movie with iMovie 6.0.3
When I click the share menu on iMovie, then click iDVD I get an error box that states the movie could not be sent to iDVD, because if an unknown error
Furthermore it states to please be sure that iDVD is properly installed. It is, I just made a DVD with iDVD a couple days ago.
Additionally, it states to make sure my project disk has write permission. It does I checked on that.
Then finally it asks if I have enough disk space. I do as I've hardly used any of my external fire wire hard drive.
I wonder if this problem has anything to do with the G-Drive firewire hard drive? When I shared iMovie last time with iDVD I used the Mac's internal hard drive and not the external hard drive.
Thanks in advance for any help

Okay, Catspaw this is where it gets confusing. In the installation guide for the G=Drive on page 13 of 15 of the pdf file for cross platform use it states:
7.3. Cross Platform Use
To setup your G-DRIVE for use on both Windows and
Macintosh systems, use the Apple Disk utility and format
G-DRIVE FAT32.
1. Open the Apple Disk Utility. (The Apple Disk Utility is
currently limits FAT32 partitions to 32GB in size)
WARNING:
THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON YOUR DRIVE.NOTE: The 'MS-DOS File System' cannot write files over 4 GB. If you are working with files over 4 GB, you may want to choose a software option like MacDrive. MacDrive is Windows software that enables the Windows OS to mount MAC
Sorry for the lengthy discourse, its the only way I can explain what I did to set the G-Drive up for my Mac.
I go to Get Info for the G-Drive while its mounted on the Mac and it states the Format is MS-DOS File System (Fat 32) not Mac OS Extended as you mention.
I'm confused now, because the G-Drive installation directions state Click “Erase” and your drive will be formatted to its full capacity as FAT32. With this format, you will be able to READ/WRITE on both windows (2000/XP) and MAC OS machines.
Any insight to the Mac OS extended and FAT32 for cross platform use?
Further checking the installation instructions for a MAC without cross platform use it does state MAC OS extended.
So now I'm confused with two scenarios one cross platform (FAT32) the other not cross paltform (Mac OS extended) By cross platform I mean that I can also use the G-Drive with my Sony PC
Thanks in advance
John

Can Quicktime Updates interfere with saved iMovie projects?

Hello.
I'm just about to do an update to the latest Quicktime and I wondered if these updates can cause any problems with iMovie projects that have been made and saved on my computer with older Quicktime versions?
Thanks
Rich

Thanks Bengt,
But how about after a project is fully completed and burned to DVD but still remaining stored on the computer as a final iMovie project. In case you want to burn it again or just play it on the computer, will that original iMovie on the computer be confused by a newer Quicktime Update? I have all mine still saved as both disc images and also the original project. I know a disc image will not be affected but I was curious about the original project?

Imovie project not opening in imovie

Help anyone?
My son has been editing a video of his grandfather, who died last year. Sadly we have either exported or copied this video and now it does not appear in the imovie Project Library. However the file is in the imovie Projects folder, but we cannot open it from there. The icon in imovie projects shows an image, which is hopeful, but doesn't show a file size, which is worrying.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a solution?
Am using Imac 10.6 with imovie version 9.0.4
Many thanks
Susannah

If you click the Project Library in the upper left corner, it should go to Edit Project. There you should find it.
You said it was in your Projects folder. Check to see if your clips are in the Events folder. Hopefully, nothing was deleted.
